This project consists of a NSS module (nss_ndb.so.1) and a CLI
utility (makendb) that enables big passwd & group files to be
handled efficiently via BTree BerkeleyDB databases.
To activate and use this you must (after installation):
1. Manually add a symbolic link:
/usr/lib/nss_ndb.so.1 -> /path/to/lib/nss_ndb.so.1.<version>
2. Populate the databases in /var/db/nss_ndb via "makendb" (or some
other tool).
3. Activate it in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files ndb
group: files ndb

Move more WWW entries from pkg-descr files into Makefiles
The WWW: lines in the pkg-descr files of these ports where not at the
end of those files and have been missed in prior conversion runs.
